Sources tell The Examiner Koekkoek is headed to the Windsor Spitfires in exchange for centre Michael Clarke and second-round draft picks in 2014 and 2015.

Clarke, a fifth-round pick of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, is sixth in Spitfires scoring with seven goals and 20 points in 34 games with a -11 rating and 28 penalty minutes. The five-foot-11, 186-pound, 1994-born native of London has 23 goals and 56 points in 110 career OHL games.

Neither side is commenting on the deal as it won't go before OHL officials for league approval until Thursday morning. The OHL trade deadline is 12 noon Thursday.

The Petes are also negotiating with several teams on one more potential deal.

Koekkoek asked for a trade prior to Christmas but would not acknowledge so publicly. The Petes' first-round draft pick on 2010, and 10th overall NHL pick by the Tampa Bay Lightning in June, has six goals, 22 assists and 28 points with a -26 rating in 40 games this season.
